111 Minna will celebrate February’s First Thursday with Harum Scarum, a group exhibit featuring the work of local mixed-media/collage artist, David Ball. Work by fellow SF artist, Jesse Balmer and San Diego-based artist, Katherine Brannock‘s will also be on display.

Following First Thursday, two fantastic shows, Of Darkness and Visions Beyond the Badge, will open this Friday at the Luggage Store Gallery and Harvey Milk Photography Center, respectively.
